Luna Picks up NWL Monthly Pitching Honor Friday, May 1st , 2026 The Northwest League Pitcher of the Month honor has been given to Alex Luna of Spokane for a superlative month. "I actually never wanted to be a pitcher," Luna told reporters when asked who he credits for his pitching ability. "I was an outfielder until high school and on the third day of tryouts my coach came up and said, 'Son you couldn't hit a lick even if we put it on a tee for ya.' Well, that ticked me off, so I decided if I couldn't hit I wanted to make sure no one else could either and so here I am." It all turned out for the best as the Spokane starter notched a 3-0 record with a 0.40 ERA last month. He made 3 starts and struck out 12 in 22.1 innings. |
